Marvel's Thor has almost always looked more like a superhero than a Norse god in how he has been depicted. There was a fill-in "Thor" named Red Norvell who would probably look more like the mythological Thor than any of the variants of Marvel's standard Thor.
Normally Thor doesn't even have the beard so that's different, and his hair seems a bit shorter from what I can see in the photo. Also, while the costume design does resemble what Thor is currently wearing in the comics it's not exact since the sleeves and pant legs of the comic version appear to be some sort of mail and not quilted fabric.
I am curious about what his helmet (if any) will look like as well as what they went with for the look of Mjolnir. The classic Thor helmet is a bit much with giant wings on it so I'm assuming that if this Thor even wears a helmet it will look more like the one he has with been wearing
recently.
